Nihonium looked at me .
While looking at me intensely, she did not move an inch .
Though her expression was kind and gentle, but her eyes showed determination .
“I got it . ” (Ryouta)
“So… . . ?”
When I nodded to her reply, I thought for a moment .
If she was the one who requests for me, then it’s bad to turn her down .
If she doesn’t want to do it, I will abide by it, but if she wants to, then I’ll follow her wishes .
It’s nice that she’s the one who’s asking it, and it’s better not to ask why .
Especially if Nihonium offered it herself .
Based on all of these—–I finally got myself an answer, and I replied .
“I want them to understand immediately once you look at it . ” (Ryouta)
“What do you mean by that?” (Aurum)
Aurum asked in confusion .
“Right now, the monster at the first floor of Tennessine is my doppelganger . So I want people to think that it’s done by me . . ” (Ryouta)
“True . ” (Aurum)
“So if Nihonium is going to make the drop disappear . I want it to be me who’s the reason it happened . Instead of a “Eh, this is weird?”, I want them to think of “Ah so this is from Ryouta!” . ” (Ryouta)
“Fumu fumu, I see now~” (Aurum)
She finally understood .
Looking back at Nihonium, I asked .
“So can you do that?” (Ryouta)
“Yes . ” (Nihonium)
She replied in no time .
It’s as though it was no problem for her .
Since we wanted to hurry, we went to Tennessine immediately .
Using the Transfer Gate, we arrived at the first floor .
Then, Aurum and NIhonium came along, together with Mike as well .
With the four of us, we stood at the first floor .
“So, what should we do?” (Aurum)
“It’s already done . You can’t tell?” (Nihonium)
“Hm? Really?” (Aurum)
“… . . I can tell . ” (Ryouta)
“Huh? Really, what are you saying?” (Aurum)
Aurum was shaking her head as she does not understand anything .
Looking closely, Mike too had the same expression .
Can’t they tell when they’re monster and spirit? Or is Nihonium just the exception?
Thus, I explained to the two of them .
“It’s the Dungeon Master presence . ” (Ryouta)
“Aah, so it’s already done?” (Aurum)
“Yeap . ” (Ryouta)
“So how is Ryouta going to connect the Dungeon Master to you?” (Aurum)
“No, I do know it . . ” (Ryouta)
“Why is that so?” (Aurum)
“… . . Aah, you’ll know it, it’s a feeling of disgust . ” (Ryouta) .
“What are you even saying——-HYaa!” (Aurum)
Aurum suddenly raised her voice .
Aurum looked behind me .
There were several doppelgangers .
But it wasn’t just the doppelgangers of me .
All of them are emitting the Dungeon Master feel .
It wasn’t just 1, but all of them .
“Don’t tell me…… . ” (Aurum)
“Yeap . I basically placed all of them with the attribute of Dungeon Master . ” (Nihonium)
“If they’re all—–Oh my let’s run!” (Ryouta)
I immediately dragged all of them back into the gate .
If all of them have the Dungeon Master attribute, I don’t know what mess they’ll give .
When the doppelganger is already that strong, I really don’t want to know what hell awaits there .
That’s why I hurriedly pushed them all back to the mansion .
After calming down, I looked at Nihonium .
“Thanks!” (Ryouta)
Nihonium smiled gently at my reply .
The next day, at the chairman’s room of Shikuro Dungeon Association .
I came here to meet with Cell, and I explained what happened .
While I was there, I could see a closet in the corner of the room filled with something, and it’s about to burst open .
I got a chill if I opened that closet .
“W-What is that?” (Ryouta)
“What are you talking about?” (Cell)
Cell acted stupid—-But .
Bakii!
I heard the hinge snapped, and the door was swung open .
A head suddenly popped out .
It was a bronze statue of me .
“…… . ” (Cell)
Without saying anything, Cell stood up, forced the statue back in and closed the door shut .
He came back, and sat back down .
“Today’s a good day to go for some Dungeon . ” (Cell)
“That’s a lousy way to hide it!” (Ryouta)
I retorted back .
Why the hell does he have statues of me inside his room .
“…… . . Ehem . ” (Cell)
He coughed and straightened himself .
No matter how many times I retort, he just ignores it .
So I just gave up and continued .
“So how is it on the other side?” (Ryouta)
“It’s all boiled down to timing right now . ” (Cell)
“Is that alright?” (Ryouta)
“I won’t say something that I can’t do . ” (Cell)
He said it confidently .
Looking aside his hobby, he’s a super talented person, so it was kinda cool when he said that .
“There’s no point hiding it from Satou-sama, but we’re negotiating with them . ” (Cell)
“I see, so it’s a matter of time . ” (Ryouta)
I was satisfied with his explanation .
Since he’s the one negotiating, I won’t feel like he’ll mess it up .
“The problem is creating a city in Tennessine . ” (Cell)
“Is there a problem?” (Ryouta)
“This is the information that was researched for Satou-sama . ” (Cell)
Cell placed a document on the table .
“Based on the results, no one should be attacked during the construction of the city . ” (Cell)
“… . . I see . ” (Ryouta)
I thought for awhile and understood the reason .
If someone were to be attacked, the shadow will turn into that person’s doppelgangers .
“If someone were to be attacked, the construction will have to be put on halt for a few days . ” (Cell)
“I see now . Yeah, so we have to find out how to avoid being attack . ” (Ryouta)
“It’s a hurdle . We must avoid a direct attack, so we’re looking for a different solution . ” (Cell)
“Then that’ll be fine . ” (Ryouta)
“Huh?” (Cell)
Tennessine, 2nd floor .
I brought Cell here via the Transfer Room .
I went ahead without him .
“Wait a second Satou-sama, I don’t have any fighting capability—–” (Cell)
“It’s fine . ” (Ryouta)
“Eh?” (Cell)
I went further ahead .
Without encountering a single monster, we safely went to the 3rd floor .
“This… . . There’s no monsters?” (Cell)
“So you finally notice . Well, it’s not so easy to understand . ” (Ryouta)
“What do you mean?” (Cell)
“By the way—–” (Ryouta)
Instead of answering, I continued going up the floor .
The 3rd floor has nobody as well .
“———Basically . The upper floor is the same . ” (Ryouta)
“This is……How is this happening?” (Cell)
“I had Nihonium cooperate with me to make Dungeon Master . And only on the first floor . ” (Ryouta)
“Nihonium!?” (Cell)
Cell was surprised .
Of course he’ll be surprised if I had Nihonium help me instead of Tennessine .
But that was only for a moment .
Cell quickly laugh it off .
“Now that’s our Satou-sama . ” (Cell)
“So this is the end result of what she came up with . But during the actual construction, I’ll put the Dungeon Master outside the tower . ” (Ryouta)
“Oooh!” (Cell)
Cell screamed .
“I knew Satou-sama has already taken some measures . ” (Cell)
Bakin!
This time, a statue dropped and bounced twice with a smug face of me .
